What is reverse power flow (RPF)?
With the massive introduction of PV systems in the distribution network, the problem of reverse power flow (RPF) upstream at certain times of the day when the PV systems produce more power than the load demand, leading to excess power losses, feeders overload and malfunctioning of tap changing transformers and voltage regulators surfaces [ ].
What happens if a PV system is reversed?
When the direction of power flow in any of the phases is reversed due to the PV systems producing more power than what the loads in the network require at that moment, the reverse power flow is immediately detected and the amount of reverse power instantly measured.
Does reverse power flow increase or decrease voltage?
It is found that the voltage at the PV system of feeder A increases with the reverse power flow compared with the voltage at the substation. In contrast, the voltage at the PV system of feeder B decreases with the increase in the reverse power flow. Fig. 4. Voltage rise and voltage reduction due to reverse power flow.
Why does PV output power reverse in the daytime?
The PV output power reverses in the daytime so that the active power at the substation flows in the reverse direction. Consequently, the voltage at the PV system is larger than the voltage at the substation during the daytime. Fig. 2. Time variation of active power and voltage in feeder A.
What happens if you reverse power flow in a low-voltage network?
Reverse power flow in a low-voltage (LV) network can cause instability, such as in the line sections and distribution transformers [19, 20]. The overloading of the distribution transformer is one consequence of a low-load, high-PV penetration network; higher voltages are also seen at low-voltage (LV) and medium-voltage (MV) levels. [21, 22].
